The act
Your wedding reception could take on a playful Slavic flavour with Trali-Vali, a Melbourne pop folk band combining songs in Russian and English. They pair songs with similar tunes or themes and rearrange them into new sounding pieces, drawing on pop, rock and roll, folk, country and disco. Guitar, balalaika, keyboard and percussion are part of the instrumental mix, while the band also offers dance parties with its own MC. That combination feels especially inviting for the point after dinner when you want the celebration to become a dance party with its own musical personality.

Good to know
What to expect
The band's trick is folding Russian and English songs together into combinations that catch guests off guard and then get them grinning. It's playful, and it works on a mixed room where only some people know the Russian material. Trali-Vali can also run a dance party for you, with an MC of their own on hand to keep it moving.
On the day
The band needs 5 microphones with cables and stands, plus a keyboard input and two guitar inputs. If your venue has that gear already, it makes for the simplest arrangement.
